Hot Pick: Firestone Walker tap takeover

Beaumont’s newest craft beer offering is Firestone Walker, a California brewer that originally started in Cali wine country. Get a taste of FW’s offerings at Luke’s on Wednesday night, when the bar will feature Pivo Pils, Union Jack, Easy Jack, Double Barrel Ale and “possibly the only keg of Velvet Merkin around,” according to the bar’s Facebook invite.

This tap take-over should be a nice, gentle lead-in to a massive beer week coming our way: American Craft Beer Week kicks off on May 12, and this year’s schedule of #ACBWBeaumont events is jam-packed. This is the second year Beaumont has participated in ACBW.
